VICTORY STRIDE by James P Johnson on 12" Blue Note Record # BN-32

The 12 inch Blue Note series of 78 rpm records were produced from 1939-1944 and represent the very best of early jazz from the new generation of jazzmen. This music was considered avant-garde, "out there" stuff and the audiences were small and so were the production numbers. This series produsced 53 records over the 5 year period and they are highly prized by jazz afficianados. Consequently, this music has been re-issued in many formats, but this is the original. James P Johnson performs Victory Stride. Really good music. Enjoy!
